claw-playbook: ERROR! 'debugger' is not a valid attribute for a Play

ERROR! 'debugger' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to have been in '/…/claw/solr.yml': line 3, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

• hosts: solr
  ^ here

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

I was able to get past the error by commenting out line 5 in solr.yaml:

  debugger: on_failed

i had the same error on vagrant 2.2.4 and ansible 2.8.3

@t4k @elizoller Just looking at the documentation for Ansible 2.2 and I see it does support the debugger parameter so it should work. I wonder if it's failing because of something else failing. If you remove the line does it finish building?

[t4k]

Yes, everything worked perfectly with that single line commented out.

[t4k]

New in version 2.5.

The debugger keyword can be used on any block where you provide a name attribute, such as a play, role, block or task.

Looks like it requires Ansible 2.5 and a name attribute. There is no name attribute in this section of the file.

Maybe an Ansible compatibility_mode needs to be set in the Vagrantfile: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/ansible_common.html#compatibility_mode

[DonRichards]

Interesting. I just created a PR for this.

[elizoller]

Sorry, this might be a dumb question but why would we want to force it to behave like a previous version of vagrant? Isn't that what compatibility mode does?

[DonRichards]

I believe so, that's how I read it.

Are we good to close this one?
